I recently installed the FBE 256K memory expansion in my old motherboard
style Z100. I previously had a 256K Zenith Z205 card for a total of 488K.
Now, how does one use the 768K main board memory + the 256K S-100 memory?
Can it be done. I tried to treat the 256K as extended memory (like an IBM AT),
but that didn't seem to work. I know MS-DOS limits me to using only 640K with
the remaining 128K (of the main board 768K) available for VDISK or other
ramdriver. I am currently configured with a 256K VDISK and 512K for MS-DOS.

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. If using the 256K card is now
impossible--is anyone interested in buying one slightly used but fully
functional Z205 S-100 256K Memory Expansion board.
